Ubuntu is a great developer platform - however, getting used to it can be a daunting proposition for users of Windows or macOS - and even for those who have already been using Linux but not for coding. Come and see how simple it can be.
This presentation will show how to get from zero to 'hello world' on Ubuntu using the most popular toolchains: Python, Java, .NET, Go, and others. Attendees will learn a simple way to set up an Ubuntu system for development, including their favorite IDE.
Robert will discuss best practices and offer tips and pointers to resources for programming on Ubuntu, including where to ask for help or where to find documentation.
Robert is a Linux and open source enthusiast and advocate. In the role of a technical author at Canonical, he focuses on documenting low-level Linux internals.
